The real Mr. & Mrs. Smith- beach wedding!

Welcome to the photos of one of my all-time favorite weddings! There were so many favorites that I finally just closed my eyes and clicked on a bunch to put on the blog because I couldn't choose. :) Unfortunately when I uploaded them they showed up in no particular order, so I apologize! You can add that to the long list of things that I dislike about my current blog. So, why don't I switch you ask? Well, maybe LanierStar will have an announcement coming soon...

Back to Matt & Jessica- They had their wedding on the beach in Amelia Island with the reception at Summer Beach Resort. What a great venue! Some of the things I loved about this wedding are:

• the way Jessica's friends looked at her when she was getting ready
• the camaraderie between Matt & his groomsmen
• the casual vibe
• the personal touches
• how Matt couldn't stop kissing Jessica
• when I asked Jessica to move away from Matt for a sec so I could get a couple portraits and Matt was dying to get back into the pictures with her
• their friend singing to them during the reception (remind me of the song in the comments!)
• the awesome candy bar
  
• the beautiful spirits of everyone that was there
• when Jessica enjoyed the "sparkler tunnel" so much she had to turn around and do it again
  
• the amount of fun I had

I love weddings like this where the couple gets to enjoy themselves, the occasion and the people around them. That is what a wedding should be about.

Onto the photographs!


























I would also like to share a review that Jessica & Matt left for me on Wedding Wire:

Kristen Morgan of LanierStar Photography was awesome! Choosing a unique photographer for my wedding was very important to me and after seeing Kristen's work online - I knew exactly who I wanted to photograph our wedding! I did not want the usual posed wedding photos - I wanted a lot of candids and photographs that everyone else did not have...and that's exactly what I got with LanierStar! She was there while we were getting ready and stayed until my husband and I left the reception in a tunnel of sparklers! I could not be any happier with our photos! I know once Matt and I have children, I will be tempted to travel to Orange Park for Kristen to take their pictures also! Thank you so much for such beautiful art!
